One Of My Kind


I checked before writing this tab to see if there was another one up, there wasn't at time. This version has all the verses and a couple of slight differences to the other one I'll put it up anyway. Have a look at the notes at the bottom for some of the Tabbed from the version included in the 'One Of My Kind' Documentary. Artist: Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band Song: One Of My Kind CAPO 3 Intro: F F I can't live in this city But I was born here Dm And I know all these people Where they went to high school Bb Where they got their angle Here they waited tables C Still call me brother Like Cain and Abel F There, see all those old men How'd they get so swollen? Dm I got so many broke friends Who say I owe them Bbm From when we were children How did it happen? C Where is it going? Dm Is that your question, man? Bbm Dm Where does all your frustration lie? C Dm Why are you pulling out your hair at night? Bbm Just try and have a good time F C Dm A Bbm All the rest aside F You're still one of my kind F A Dm C F I can't think in this city But I remember Dm I know every story that it ever told me Bb Well, I got the blueprint To create my own myth C That's what made it tragic Like a summer snowdrift F Yeah, going to call my first love Meet her at the new club Dm Tell her all that I've done Finally be forgiven Bb And get good and drunk Bbm Like it feels you're young C There are things against us Dm But I will fight tooth and nail Bbm Dm Stand in the sickening sunshine C Dm After staying out all night Bbm And maybe it's the good life F C Dm A Bbm All the rest aside C Dm A Bbm The rest aside C Dm A Bbm The rest aside F You're still one of my kind F A Dm C F I can't live in this city But I'll probably die here Dm Maybe that's how you feel Like a poisoned cornfield Bb Like a best friend backstabbed An abandoned train track C We're living straight-lined F Are you one of my kind? F A Dm C F Notes: Each time after the lyrics '..one of my kind' Conor plays F A Dm C (as shown above). For chord he plays a little variation the general variation for each chord is tabbed out as F' A' Dm' and C' but as usual a little improvisation around these when listening to song will show you what sounds right. F' = 133200 A' = x02200 Dm' = x00320 C' = x32000 For the 3rd chord in each verse Conor seems to alternate between A# (odd verses) and A#m verses) for verse 4 i've tabbed A# then A#m (seeing as this is what he appears to play the video) I think this might be a mistake and he meant A#m but started on A# then after realising. Anyway it's a minor detail and seeing as it's am unreleased song i we can't tell, but just a thought. Enjoy!
